My dad's chemistry lab had an electromechanical adding machine that was very loud.He did explain that, if a machine doesn't do what you want, you shouldn't be afraid to pull its plug. That lesson has stood me in good stead these many years.

My dad's chemistry lab had an electromechanical adding machine that was very loud.My dad's chemistry lab had an electromechanical adding machine that was very loud. He showed us how it worked.

So I started to wash out my coffee cup.

When I read titles and headlines where one let*er is blanked out, what is that preventing?Some social media platforms hide or ban posts that contain certain words, and the blanked out letter sometimes works around that censorship.
Also, some religions have taboos against writing certain words, so you see things like "G-d" to avoid blasphemy.
